Smaller Battery - talk time is listed as the same as the 700w.
No Wifi - I agree here, especially in Europe, this will hurt Palm
No SD card - uses MiniSD instead
No POS - Good.
No US - hopefully unlocked, but I doubt it. Vodafone paid a lot for this thing.

Perry, where are you? [This is such a disappointing day that not even Perry can find anything to crow about.]

How many months since the announcement of the 700 and we are no closer to an upgrade for the 650/GSM user than we were then. Perry, where are you?

Perry, if I recall, was a Sprint customer, hence GSM didn't matter to him. Anyway, Perry has left the building. RIP Perry. (He's not dead, I think he's just inhabiting another parallel web universe. Too bad.)

Interestingly, the device supports Blackberry connect, and Vodafone has an unlimited Blackberry data plan for about £60. This may be one (not very affordable) way of getting unlimited data on Vodafone.

*Includes 6MB fair usage policy – we don’t think you’ll use more, but if you do, it will cost £2 per MB.

Hahahahahahahahaha... Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Just what I'd expect from a company that is Verizon's parent company. Here's our fancy new 3G network. But we think you won't exceed 6 MB/month and will charge you over $3/MB if you do Downloaded a 10MB podcast by mistake? That'll be $12, and we won't tell you about it until you continue to mess up and see a $600 charge for data on your next bill. You can't make this stuff up.
